Take a test payment

Confirm card processing is working — a low-value real card payment you then refund.

Once you're live, the simplest check that card processing works is a real, low-value transaction you then refund.

  1. 1

    Ring up a small item

    On the paired terminal, add a low-value item to an order and go to pay.

  2. 2

    Pay by card

    Choose card and present a real card. If processing is active, the terminal prompts for the card and the payment completes.

  3. 3

    Check it landed in the portal

    The sale appears in the portal under Transactions (called Tables Served if you use Table Service). See Transactions.

  4. 4

    Refund the test if you used a real card

    If you charged a real card, refund the test sale from the device's Records so you're not out of pocket. (Refunds need the Refunds capability — see Modes.)
